Nanny Tan waved her hands quickly, "No, no, Second Madam, you are killing me." Even though she was very reluctant and unhappy, she was still humble when facing Second Madam. She was not stupid. Madam could look down on Second Madam, but we, the servants, could not step on her. Three maids were beaten to death quietly in the kitchen this morning. Although Madam had forbidden to talk about this matter, she still guessed from the words of Madam and First Madam that these three people had the guts to bully Second Madam.
Mingyu naturally knew that Comrade Cuihua was not so kind as to be considerate to her because she had too few servants. Otherwise, why didn't she send her a few more capable maids, but instead sent a respectable and decent nanny? Nanny Tan served the mistress, so how could she do rough work in Yiqing Courtyard? It was just a disguised surveillance.
Nanny Tan originally thought that she would be facing someone who was ignorant, came from a humble family, had no knowledge, was incapable of important tasks, was not presentable, and could not be presented to others... "Girl, forgive her, she has no intention of deceiving her master," these were the exact words that Miao said when evaluating Mingyu.
But actually looking at Mingyu, the little girl was quite quiet and likable. From lunch to dinner time, she hardly ever saw Mingyu speak a word. She was either standing in front of the window practicing calligraphy seriously, or sitting on the couch reading a book honestly. She was almost so quiet, and yet her delicate little face like jade and her quiet and steady temperament made it hard to ignore her.
Lixiang would occasionally tiptoe in to add a cup of hot tea to Mingyu, or replace a burnt-out sandalwood stick. The atmosphere in the room was peaceful and harmonious. Mingyu had no intention of gossiping with Nanny Tan about the affairs of the mansion, but Nanny Tan, who was always noisy, couldn't stand such a quiet atmosphere, so she took the initiative to start a conversation, talking about the people and things in the mansion. Mingyu just smiled and nodded in response, with a very polite attitude, but it was obvious that she didn't listen to Nanny Tan's words and didn't respond.
After a few times, Nanny Tan stood aside in frustration and shut her mouth. Without an audience to support her, there was no point in her speaking anymore.
Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. The nanny had finally quieted down. She had been talking nonstop for the entire afternoon and her ears were buzzing.
At night, Nanny Tan and Lixiang helped Mingyu to sleep together. Mingyu naturally couldn't let Nanny Tan do it, and Nanny Tan herself felt embarrassed to sit idle, so she helped Mingyu dry her hair and made the quilt.
As soon as Mingyu got into bed, Nanny Tan immediately left Yiqing Courtyard and slipped into Miao's courtyard.
When Nanny Tan came over, Miao had already washed up and was sitting on the couch, with the maid trimming her nails. Looking at Miao's face, Nanny Tan knew that the mistress was very unhappy today. Seeing how late it was, the master must have stayed at Aunt Yu's tonight. No wonder the mistress looked like someone owed her hundreds of taels of silver and didn't pay it back.
Therefore, Nanny Tan became more cautious in her words.
"Didn't I tell you to go serve the Second Madam?" Miao was a little unhappy to see that Madam Tan came back so soon, "What's the matter?"
Nanny Tan came back so quickly, while the maids and old women were all there, mainly because she wanted to convey a message to everyone that she was not abandoned or exiled by Miao, but still enjoyed Miao's favor. She also wanted to find out important information about Mingyu as soon as possible. Maybe if the lady was happy, she would transfer her back to the mistress's courtyard.
Seeing that Nanny Tan seemed to have something to say, Miao waved her hand, and the maid who was trimming her toenails immediately bowed down. Nanny Tan came close to Miao and told her everything from her arrival at Yiqing Courtyard to her departure. She only talked about trivial matters, including how Mingyu crumpled up a few pieces of paper that she was not satisfied with when practicing calligraphy and threw them away, how many times Lixiang served tea to Mingyu... and so on.
At first, Miao thought that Nanny Tan had found out something that she didn't know, but it was all trivial matters. She interrupted Nanny Tan impatiently, "Alright, alright, that's all?"
Nanny Tan blushed and said quickly, "I just found out something and came to tell Madam."
Miao could probably guess what Nanny Tan was up to, but considering her reputation, she didn't say much. She waved her hand and said, "Go back. If you find anything important, come back and tell me. There's no need to talk about these trivial matters."
Nanny Tan was very disappointed, so she bowed and left. When she left the madam's room, she immediately looked proud and proud after being praised by her leader. Several maids standing at the door came over to greet her, but Nanny Wei was still standing there with a half-smile on her face, which made Nanny Tan furious.
After Master Bao drank the medicine, he ran to the teacher and asked for leave with a big bump on his forehead. He didn't like going to class in the first place, and now he had an excuse not to study. The teacher saw that the second young master of the Marquis's Mansion was seriously injured and didn't make things difficult for him. He immediately approved Master Bao's leave. Anyway, this playboy didn't want to study, and he was happy to have some free time.
Yingrong had been lying down for the whole morning and was almost done with rest. She thought that Master Bao was studying in the front yard. Just as she got up and was about to go to the kitchen to bring food to Master Bao, she saw Master Bao coming back in a swagger with a big bump on his head and a white hair.
"Second Master! What happened to you?" Ying Rong screamed, covering her mouth. She was fine when she left home in the morning. Could she have been injured in a fight? Who is so bold as to hit the second son of the Marquis's mansion
Master Bao waved his hand, signaling Yingrong to stop talking. It would be embarrassing to tell others that a grown man could bump into a tree. It would damage his image as a wise and brave man. "It's okay. I bumped into it by accident." Master Bao said vaguely.
Seeing that Master Bao was unwilling to mention the matter again, Yingrong swallowed her doubts, fetched some cold well water, soaked a handkerchief with it, and carefully wiped the wound on Master Bao's forehead.
"Second Master, why are you so careless!" Yingrong felt really distressed, "Bai Hao, how did you take care of Second Master when you followed him?!" Yingrong was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but get angry at Bai Hao.
Baihao's face turned red and white, and he held his anger and said nothing. It's fine if the madam scolds him, she is the master, but who is Yingrong? They are all first-class servants and first-class maids. They are all of the same rank and have served the second master since they were young. Why does she order him around? Look at her behavior, she really thinks she is the master!
Seeing that Bai Hao ignored her, Yingrong's face turned red and she was speechless. She glared at Bai Hao hatefully, lowered her body, and concentrated on wiping the Second Master's forehead.
Master Bao felt much better after applying a towel soaked in cold water to his head. The effect of the medicine he had just drunk took effect, and he felt sleepy. He waved his hand to let Baihao and Yingrong go down, took off his shoes and lay down on the couch. However, he tossed and turned for a long time, and until Yingrong came back with food from the kitchen, Master Bao did not fall asleep. All he could hear was Mingyu's words that frightened him and Mingyu's delicate face like jade when she asked the question.
Master Bao couldn't help but blushing again, thinking of his own inappropriate behavior in front of the little girl, it was too embarrassing, he would not be able to face Mingyu in the future. Master Bao felt more and more ashamed and angry, he simply covered his face with a pillow, as if he could avoid being seen, but he accidentally touched the wound on his forehead, and he grimaced in pain for a long time.
“Don’t they say Jiangnan women are graceful?” Master Bao muttered with his face buried in the quilt, “She is so bold, pretending to be so obedient… yet she can ask such a question… without blushing at all!” Thinking of this, Master Bao suddenly lost his composure, as if he was the one who was shy from beginning to end, while the culprit seemed to be fine.
This feeling was as if he had suffered a great loss at the hands of the little girl. Master Bao was very unhappy. He buried his head in the quilt, and all he could see before his eyes was Mingyu's well-behaved and lovable smiling face.
Suddenly, the quilt covering Master Bao's head was lifted, and Mingyu's smiling face was replaced by Yingrong's surprised face. Yingrong asked anxiously and worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you covering your head?"
Master Bao was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He pulled the quilt from Yingrong's hand and said with a stiff face, "I'm cold... Who allowed you to lift my quilt?" Afraid and embarrassed, Master Bao's tone was no longer as polite as before.
Yingrong was rarely scolded so directly by Master Bao, and her eyes could not help but turn red. She stepped aside hesitantly and said in a low voice: "Master, get up and eat before lying down to rest."
Master Bao stood up and saw Yingrong was about to cry. He felt a little sorry for her. Yingrong had always served him wholeheartedly, so he softened his voice and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I just said one sentence, and you feel wronged? Can't you just blame me?"
Being comforted by Master Bao in such a "tender" way, Yingrong's mood immediately rose from hell to heaven. She looked at Master Bao with a reproachful look, bowed with a red face and went out.
Baihao stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Yingrong coming out of the house with a blush on her face, he couldn't help but snort and said to himself, "What the hell? They all think they are the master!"
Yingrong heard Baihao's words with her sharp ears, and her eyebrows immediately stood up. Considering that the Second Master was still eating in the room, she lowered her voice and said, "What did you say? How dare you scold me?"
Baihao stiffened his neck and said, "Did I scold you? I scolded those people with bad intentions. Some people are getting more and more outrageous. The whole mansion knows that she wants to be a concubine so badly! Don't you think it's embarrassing!"
"You!" Yingrong pointed at Baihao and was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her pretty face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Baihao was very sharp-tongued. "Why are you so angry? I said something to you, don't skip a word.
Yingrong was so angry that she wanted to stretch out her hand and scratch Baihao's face a few times, but Baihao still didn't let her go. He approached her proudly and said, "Do you know why the Second Master hit his head? The Second Master went to give a gift to the Second Madam, and the Second Madam liked it. The Second Master was so happy that he forgot east, west, south, and north, and hit his head!"
